dirty dirty rags

Do you want to come over and watch the Laker game with me on the big fancy television?

It'll be fun, fun. 

Surround sound and high def and I don't have any beer, but there is bottle of rosé in the frig and I could make a little deli plate. Including those beautiful little radishes I bought at Whole Foods.

Radishes and butter and salt. Yum.

And at the time outs (because you know that other team is so going to be panicky) I can tell you all about my doctor's appointment today.

I'll tell you how I was waiting for the doctor in the exam room and the phone started ringing. After maybe fifteen rings I couldn't take the noise and I answered it.

I say, "Hello?" and this woman with Brit accent says, "Yes, this is Dr. Stevens, I was paged."

I say, "Um, I'm a patient. I just answered the phone because it wouldn't stop ringing."

"Come agian?" she says, so I say it again and there is a longish pause and I say, "I think I'm YOUR patient."

"Oh, right...I will see you shortly."

Mmmm. That was weird.

Next great conversation I had with the doctor went like this:

"So where did you travel here from?"

I tell her.

"Well that's awfully far away. Why did you do that."

To which I say, "Thanks a lot for that vote of confidence... I came here because my orthopedic doctor said I should see you."

"Oh yes. I see."

And then the doctor rubbed the ultra sound wand over my knee for several minutes, did some poking around with her fingers and then unannounced, stuck me with a 20 guage needle.

She then withdrew 4 cc of stuff that looked like dark, thick honey.

I know what it looked like because she held out the vial in front of my face (without warning).

It took maybe five minutes for the little hole in my knee to stop bleeding--probably because I've been taking so many anti-inflammatories.

The doctor applies pressure, puts on a band aide and then it bleeds through. A few times.

Finally it seems okay and she says, "Here's an extra bandage, just in case."

I jokingly say, "It's okay, I'm wearing black pants so the blood won't show."

"That's not the point," she replies
